Incorrect Formual
 

I am trying to add this formula in a cell to get rid of a div/0 error but it
won't let me add it

=IF(L4=0,0,IF(L20=0,0,if(l4=0 and l20=0,0,(L4-L20)/L4)))

it doesn't like the statement if(l4=0 and l20=0,0 is there anyway to
easily get rid of div/0 error

thanks

Try one more IF
=IF(L4=0,0,IF(L20=0,0,if(l4=0,if( l20=0,0,(L4-L20)/L4),(L4-L20/L4))))

I did some investigation and maybe found a better way

=IF(ISERROR(IF(L4-L201,L4-L20,IF(L4-L20<-1,L4-L20,""))),"",IF(L4-L201,L4-L20,IF(L4-L20<-1,L4-L20,"")))

Tom,

I frequently use:
=If(L4,(L4-L20)/L4,0)

Is this just another alternative, or am I asking for trouble...

Thanks...

six of one, half dozen of another. If someone else has to use the sheet,
mine method is clearer in my opinion (but every one has one).
